CAUSE ===== The file MSWLess.dep incorrectly points to the above site. The MSWLess.dep file should not contain any entries for CABFileName, CABDefaultURL, or CABINFFile. Microsoft Lightweight Controls are not meant for distribution over the Web. RESOLUTION ========== Do not use these controls for Web-based applications. -or- Remove lines containing CABFileName, CABDefaultURL, and CABINFFile from the MSWLess.dep file. STATUS ====== This behavior is by design.
